Burlison video is juvenile

Turner Collins

Rep. Eric Burlison removed all doubt with his video showing the shooting of Rep. Rory Ellinger's proposed bill on gun control. What kind of (Republican?) role model is this?

What the heck, maybe I should shoot up a few things I don't agree with. I don't like the traffic light and stop sign that I obey each day when I leave my home. Do I have permission to blow them full of holes? No, because it is illegal to fire a gun within the city limits of Springfield. What about annoying cellphone users or some Missouri drivers? And we wonder why some individuals resort to guns when they feel mistreated or misunderstood or don't like something.

And the News-Leader finds it appropriate to put this travesty on the front page above the fold so anyone who even glances at the paper sees the "news."

If Rep. Burlison finds this amusing, it just shows you how juvenile some of our leaders are. I wonder if Burlison indulges in violent video games?

How does he find the time to spend making this video, considering the overwhelming issues facing the state at this time?

I hope the voters of his district are already considering who they will vote for (against) in the next election. Send Burlison home so he can shoot something out behind the barn, not in Jefferson City.

And, by the way, I do own a gun. Maybe I'll go out today and find something I don't like and shoot it full of holes! Maybe my daily paper?
